After meeting Monster Outdoor and seeing their vans, I was impressed with their production support, route mapping and post-campaign analysis. We went on to use Monster for our full summer marketing campaign. Combining artwork, music and video, we maximised our campaign and went to places other advertising can’t reach.

We wanted to create a real buzz around Spectre, the latest James Bond film, in the local area. Monster’s quality screens meant we could broadcast visually stunning pictures along with great audio. Through proximity targeting we successfully grabbed people’s attention and we’d definitely use the team at Monster again.

We ran a campaign with Monster Outdoor to actively promote a 15% instore discount and drive footfall to our Preston store. Monster delivered a tactical local campaign, visiting high footfall areas like Deepdale Stadium and retail parks. This boosted the promotion, and we were thrilled with the results.
